Coral Bay Attractions

Originally known as "Crawl Bay", in the 19th C this area featured the largest settlement on St John. Coral Harbor is the largest and most protected anchorage in St John, attributing to the early good fortune of the settlement.

Today, the village center offers only a handful of shops, restaurants, and pubs surrounding the base of a hill.
Fort Berg Ruins
The ruins of Fort Berg lie on a wooded peninsula jutting into Coral Bay. Built by the Danish in 1717, the fort was reduced to rubble during the slave revolt of 1733. Another battery was built here during the British occupation from 1807-15 and some iron cannons remain.
Tips
The fort is on private land, visitors should inquire as to whether it is acceptable to visit at that time.
